DIAMOND couple Ken and Joan Brindle, of Darwen, raise a glass to 60 years of marriage.

The couple met at The Bath dance hall and were married at the then Holy Trinity (now St Peter's) Church.

To celebrate their big occasion, Ken, 81, and Joan, 79, took a holiday in Sharm el Sheik, Egypt.

The couple, who have two children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, say the secret to happiness in fairness and togetherness.
